Be good for goodness sake...

This
Christmas season the Sweet November Pixies thought it would be fun to
take a trip up north... way north! Apparently Santa's elves needed a few
helping hands in the workshop and the Pixies were only too happy to add
some of their magic to the preparations. So if we want to visit them it
looks like we'll have to hop a sleigh to the North Pole as well. Bundle
up, it's going to be a chilly ride. :)

So once Chrissy has wrapped the gifts it is time for Nicholas to help load them onto Santa's sleigh. He's a busy pixie making sure that not a single present gets left behind because he can't even imagine the disappointment that would bring to some good girl or boy. It's quite the responsibility to have, but Nicholas wouldn't have it any other way. Large or small each gift is carefully placed in Santa's magic bag ready for the midnight ride. And the big guy himself couldn't be happier with his new little helper which puts a huge smile on Nicholas' face.

And you know what puts a smile on my face? Some sweet Christmas candy to share...

All
you have to do for a chance to win the candy is leave a comment on
this post. If you link to the candy on your own blog that is great
and much appreciated but not a requirement... I want everyone to be
able to play along. And when I say everyone, I mean everyone. I will
ship the candy anywhere in the world so everyone is encouraged to
play! :)The candy will stay open
through Friday, November 2nd and I will announce the winners on
Saturday, November 3rd.

Now you'll want to check out the Sweet November Gals' blogs! Nancyand Marion have this little guy all wrapped up! :)

Once
again... instead of using random generator I will be printing out
names and tossing them in a hat SO if you leave comments for the SN
gals on their blogs, you will get an extra name in the hat for each
one that you do... this will up your chances of winning the candy...
fun, fun, fun!

Thanks for joining us for day five of the Sweet November
November release. We've got one last little pixie to meet tomorrow so come back then
and enter for one more chance to win some crafty goodies. Toodles!

Oh dear, Nicholas, you're never going to win the "cute" race against Rudy if you don't even wear a hat!

I like how you've used the striped paper to go with his striped stockings and shirt. Also, I now have "Santa Claus is Coming to Town" in my head, and I have the horrible suspicion that it's not going to leave...

Oh, I'll be good. In fact I've been so good that I got red roses (one rose for every year) for my birthday this morning from my sweet husband. That put a big smile on my face, too!Love your new image. Also love the vibrant colours of your card.Marianne x

Love this card from top to bottom. I just love the details and the story. Here he is all filled with joy, pride, and the holiday spirit just beaming from his big smile, all the while Santa is quietly watching him from the fireplace. I love all the papers and textures. They just add to the festive mood!

Oh my goodness, Nicholas reminds me so much of my youngest son when he was a little boy ~ he's 27 now. What a cutie! And I love your car ~ bright and cheery for the holidays!Thanks so much for the chance to win Nicholas and all the other goodies!!
